Opportunity to work on developing biosensors to detect phage replication

December 17, 2024

When phages kill bacteria, they cause changes in the bacterial membrane that can be detected using electrical impedance spectroscopy. This project aims to develop…

PhD in undertsanding how antibiotics and bacterial defence systems interact to limit antibiotic resistance transmission

December 12, 2024

This project will investigate how AMR plasmids, bacterial defenses, and antibiotic treatment interact to determine the overall spread of AMR plasmids. To do this,…

Opportunity to work as a research technician at UCL

December 11, 2024

Looking for an enthusiastic and experienced research technician to join the Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Solid Tumors and Sarcoma group of Dr Sophie Postel-Vinay and the…

Oppotunity for PhD or Post-Doc in Bacteriophage Engineering at VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology

December 10, 2024

A major limitation of phage therapy is the typically very narrow host ranges of phages that are isolated from nature. This means that novel…

Phd Opportunity in Combined Therapeutic Efficacy of Phages and Probiotics to Control Avian Pathogenic Escherichia Coli

December 9, 2024

Colibacillosis is one of the most common and important diseases in poultry production often linked to extra-intestinal colonization of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC)….

PhD opportunity to work on Combinations of bacteriophages and cold plasma for biofilm biocontrol

December 4, 2024

The ongoing antimicrobial resistance crisis has incentivised research into alternative antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. One of them is cold plasma and plasma-activated water (PAW),…

PhD Opportunity in using experimental evolution to understand the impact of phage therapy on Clostridioides difficile

December 1, 2024

C. difficile is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics and thrives in the disrupted gut environment created by antibiotic treatment. C. difficile is a spore-forming…

PhD opportunity on bacteriophage-based biocontrol of pathogens in the food chain

November 2, 2024

In this project, the student will investigate the use of bacteriophages, viruses of bacteria, as biocontrol agents to act against Listeria present in the…
